This tattoo was inspired by the Art Nouveau style of Alphonse Mucha. We started with some flower references, and a photo of her child to use as the main focal point of this piece. After a few sketches, and a lot of marker drawn on her arm, we had the basis for this piece, and completed it over two very long sessions. The merging of styles is always a challenge, in that you want to depict the right aspects of each style, and have to choose as you go which areas will showcase the different elements. I think this one has a nice combo of the Art Nouveau style, with some of my own thrown in.
